Tour: with Jon's current voice, I don't see myself enjoying a Bon Jovi show in 2016, so since I actually value my money, I'm not going to attend. Even if the new album is good, the old songs would still be the focal point of shows and we all know how that will go. I just hope the tour is shorter than their previous ones, as I fear the more people see them live from now on, the more fans they're going to lose among those who are not (yet) familiar with how Jon sounds nowadays.

Album: unlike with the tour, Jon can still sound good on the album, so there is some hope here. Unlike some, I wasn't too fond of BB minus a couple of songs, so my expectations are only slightly higher than they were 3 years ago for WON. I will take Jon's word that he had a lot going so the new songs will be inspired, but I still don't think they're not going to be in our preferred genre. I am expecting that We Don't Run was a representative preview - modern sound, catchy chorus, decently-sounding Jon, but not that much substance behind it and it won't be an album I'll listen to more than 10 times in my lifetime probably.
